Lindsay Lohan Feels She's Being Punished Because She's a Star

By Rob Shuter Posted Apr 25th 2011 08:35AM

After returning to Lynwood Correctional Facility on Friday for a five-hour stay before posting bail, Lindsay Lohan has now come to the conclusion that she is being punished simply because she's a celebrity.

"She is being treated differently from everyone else because she is famous," a source close to Lindsay tells me. "We were all in shock when she was forced to return to jail just to make an example out of her. It's not right. Especially when she is working so hard to live a healthy life."

On Friday, a judge ruled that Lindsay, who has been accused of stealing a necklace, was in violation of probation. After five hours in jail, she posted bail and will remain free pending an appeal.

"She is innocent and can't understand what is going on," my source tells me. "She didn't steal any necklace and will be found innocent. It's obvious this is only happening because she is famous and anyone that thinks celebrities get away with stuff or let off will think again after seeing this."

However, Dan Abrams, ABC News legal analyst and founder of Mediaite.com, disagrees.

"I know it's hard for some to believe, but Lindsay Lohan is basically being treated the same way any DUI, probation violating, accused small-time thief would be treated by the L.A. judicial system."

What do you think?

SHE IS A TWO BIT SHYSTER.A DUNG HOE..

By mslyn

What an idiot!!! First, you're not a star. Secondly,you're being punished because you broke the law (over and over again, I might add)!!! Which really hasn't been a punishment, but more like several slaps on the wrist.

By Perry Allotta

She is a STAR : she say so, that is why she is sick, she does not know what is a star.

By dtravis

She is not a star. A star shines brightly. Lindsay just moves through life at a snails pace, sliming everything she touches, and exudes no light or warmth at all.

Ain't that profound....

By Lisa

She's done nothing to earn any special treatment. She's an over paid under talented,going straight to hell in a handbasket wanna be what she never was, most likely never to be " ANYTHING WoRThwhile to be reading about....muchless getting away with all her BS! Lock her up... pay her no attention & have DONE with it!

This young lady is NOT A STAR! She will never be an Elizabeth Taylor, a Grace Kelly, a Katharine Hepburn, etal. She needs to be treated by the courts for her sinister endeavor just like any other adult citizen in similar situations, not finger smacked on the back of her hand.

You're acting like just because LiLo is beautiful and desirable- not like that cold fish Kate Hepburn- she can't be a star. That's TOTAL nonsense. Men want her, women want to be her. In short, LiLo is a HUGE star.

By Rod G.

What's the old saying? Don't do the crime, if you can't do the time. Apparently Lohan's spokesperson thinks that shouldn't apply to her.

By Tammy

she has gotten more breaks than carter has pills to sy that now is just self centered and very childish grow up little girl and face the music the rest of the us have to, and you really don't know how lucky you are and how much leave way you have been given try and get a sentence reduced as an average american with no money

By Mary

Since when is or was she a star? She hasn't done anything to make her a star in many years. Don't so the crime if you can't do the time. Have fun in jail when you finally get there. Loser

By dc walker

..a star?? not even close to a Liz Taylor. She makes a few movies and thinks she can steal, etc. I will not watch anything in the future this nobody appears in.

By sdl

Is Lindsay a star? NOT.

By stacie

I am so over this spoiled little brat. Any non famous person would have been in jail from day one.

I think they definitely shouldn't allow any women on the jury. Most women are plain and dull looking, so they would be very likely to find LiLo guilty as revenge for being so beautiful and desirable.

By tootsie

she should be banned from movies she is a spoiled brat and ugly as can be cant stand looking at her or any of her movies she needs a good smack acroiss the mouth spoiled is mild she is just a rotten person cant stand her neither can many others she should be banned from the movies her parents are as bad as she is and she is the product of them a rotten apple

By Zero

No, you see, tabloid stories, TV shows, are all fake like Jerry Springer and wrestling. Those people are all implants and game shows are rigged. Popularity vs. fame, you don't have many supporters because you play to the system without any physical support from an audience. The people in and all around you are players that know how to manipulate and alienate you into the life you're leading. Bottom line is you need real friends and nobody that has everything to gain by pushing you in the dirt. Avoid all the two-faced people. Look at yourself in the mirror and ask if you can trust "that person."

By Carol

She's a STAR?? The only things she's know for are booze, drugs and her jail stays!

As long as Lindsey keeps making hot LESBIAN love scenes like she did in "Machette," keep her out of jail, and keep the camera rolling!

By kmhjbh

Will someone please tell this girl that she IS NOT a star! She is a wanna be and a pathetic one at that!

By Thomas

I can't help wondering where does this young un-employed woman
who has not worked in ages get her bail funds?? Who pays her lawyer? Rent, big car, booze, dope???????????????
